I remember you as the one who was always smiling....or the one who was always making her dad smile!<br /><br />So great that you wrote. I think of your dad often and always state how he was the BEST commander anyone could have ever asked for.

I wish I could post more often too!...Hi Charmaine!<br /><br />I wish I could post more often too! I have photos, but can't load them quickly. I hate to say that I never had the cake fall once....? In fact, if I put too much batter in, they rise to high and I don't like them too "puffy" looking. Can't imagine. Try less sour cream? Maybe a little hotter oven? I don't even really let them cook, I pop them right out of the pans onto the cooling rack....they are so ready to go. My oven tends to get pretty hot and I adjust the temp a lot (vintage oven, temp must be watched), so try a higher temp and watch them. <br /><br />Let me know! Curious and thanks for writing and checking in. I just did a little outside holiday project that I can't to show because I have not had ONCE decent weather day to take photos....very frustrating. <br /><br />Will post soon!<br />Big hug<br />Elizabeth :-)Elizabeth Maxsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15301271156213625334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29659542.post-15133955856146255212011-12-05T02:39:26.499-06:002011-12-05T02:39:26.499-06:00Hi Elizabeth, I am returning to let you know I hav...Hi Elizabeth, I am returning to let you know I have been busy building and would love for you to come see my latest post :)<br /><br />Also I have not received my win...Where Women Create Mag yet!

I wish you posted more often because I love everything you do and say :) I finally had a chance to make your sour cream pound cake tonight. They're cooling now and if they taste anything like the batter they will be divine :) They fell while cooling so I'm asking what I did wrong? Do you have any suggestions to prevent this? Maybe my kitchen was too cold? Thanks for reading my question and even more thanks (and Merry Christmas!) if you have time to answer.........Charmainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06686507995508574514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29659542.post-27283608928850382002011-12-03T12:04:48.828-06:002011-12-03T12:04:48.828-06:00Elizabeth, you are sooo funny.

You could save your coffee filters or stain a bunch all at once. <br /><br />~elainerozettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10526684266410747971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29659542.post-52872173958527842332011-11-26T14:22:07.557-06:002011-11-26T14:22:07.557-06:00Welcome Shannon!

And what a great event too. I am so happy that you came up to me...and I LOVED your booth...love my mirror! It is going above my cabinet of ironstone. My friend Debbie found it only minutes after I said, "What can I put above my cabinet? I am putting up my Christmas village on it this year and need something above it...." And only five minutes later, she found it :-)<br /><br />And your tree ....if it had fit in my car, I would have stolen it. I didn't see a price tag, so I assume it was only a display...which meant I would have to steal it. hahaha<br /><br />Big hug<br />elizabeth :-)Elizabeth Maxsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15301271156213625334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29659542.post-55031652648880122702011-11-23T19:56:38.667-06:002011-11-23T19:56:38.667-06:00I love homemade! :) it was so great to finally mee...I love homemade! :) it was so great to finally meet you in person the other night at 3 french hens.
